Its a good point Mark. Interesting also how times have changed from the days when Flight Engineers were very much entrenched as part of the cockpit crew, and how they have been replaced "electronically"! Although, as with the Kiwi Air Force, or any other Air Force for that matter, who operate C130's, P3K's, large turboprops, there is still room for the flight engineer. Even on modern jets in the military, they will still have a flight engineer on board for tactical flying operations etc.
